hexagonal Django
by Jonathan Hartley Sept. 11, 2014

Sept. 11, 2014

The last few weeks I've been thinking about the architectural pattern known as Clean, Onion, Hexagonal, or Ports'n'Adaptors <http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html> (http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html). I'm curious if many people are applying it in the Django world? I haven't, yet, but I'm thinking of refactoring a vertical slice of our monster Django app into this style, and I'd love to hear if you think it's crazy / brilliant / obvious / old-hat, etc. Jonathan -- Jonathan Hartley tartley(a)tartley.com http://tartley.com Made of meat. +44 7737 062 225 twitter/skype: tartley

Trip to Bletchley Park
by Tom Viner Oct. 17, 2013

Oct. 17, 2013

Hi all, A few of us had a discussion at PyconUK about doing a trip to Bletchley Park and the The National Museum of Computing. Saturday, 19 Oct seemed to be the best option. Londoners could meet at Euston Station and others could make their own way. In terms of timing: - Bletchley Park is open from 9.30am to 5.00pm - The Museum of Computing is "Fully open 1-5pm; Colossus and Tunny Galleries open all day" So we could meet at say 10am and get the train there, potentially using this national rail 2 for 1 offer: http://www.daysoutguide.co.uk/bletchley-park-(1) More info: http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/ http://www.tnmoc.org/ So put it in your calendar and I'll email again a week before with specific meeting times etc. Cheers, Tom @tomviner

copyright info in source
by Jonathan Hartley Oct. 8, 2013

Oct. 8, 2013

A small Python project of mine is apparently being included in Chromium, because I've had a bug report from them that my source files (plural) fail their build-time license checker. They'd like me to include a license and copyright info in every source file (including empty __init__.py files). I've responded that I don't want to be unhelpful, but I don't believe in putting duplicate license and copyright info in every source code file. To my mind, it belongs in a single central place, i.e. the project LICENSE file. Am I being unreasonable and/or daft?

Cardiff Django users group
by Daniele Procida Sept. 29, 2013

Sept. 29, 2013

I'm starting a user group for Django developers in Cardiff. The plan is to hold meetings monthly, probably on a Wednesday evening with occasional events on weekends. I'm trying to get a suitable venue with good wireless access organised at Cardiff University, but there are other options. Email list: <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/django-cardiff>. You don't need to have a Google account to subscribe to the email list; it's possible to subscribe at <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/django-cardiff/join>. Daniele

Python community participation in Raspberry Jamboree in February
by Nicholas H.Tollervey Sept. 28, 2013

Sept. 28, 2013

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks, Our esteemed fellow Pythonista and teacher Mr.Alan O'Donohoe (cc'd) is organising yet another *epic* Raspberry Jamboree at the end of February. Given the amount of interest from Pythonistas at PyconUK about matters educational *I* wanted to make you all aware of this event and possible ways in which you could contribute. I'm sure you remember the wonderful energy that was Sunday's Raspberry Jam (run by Alan) - just think of the Raspbery Jamboree as a meta-jam: a way for teachers, educators, technology professionals, programmers and students to all come together and share, demonstrate and take part in technical educational activities (usually connected with the RaspberryPi). More details here: https://rjamboree14.eventbrite.co.uk/ I'm sure that if you contact Alan directly he'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
